This role requires a leader who can combine strong people leadership with commercial ownership. You will be responsible for developing the team, delivering revenue and GMV goals, and translating the needs of our merchants into scalable go-to-market strategies.

You will be a collaborative and hands-on leader who develops future talent, establishes a high-performance culture and inspires teams to move quickly while maintaining a strong focus on merchant outcomes.
With a growth mindset and entrepreneurial spirit, you will deeply understand our merchants, identify patterns across their journeys and use data to create insights, programmes and solutions that contribute to their success.
